A good canoe-carrying yoke is indispensable and a full top bug net is no gimick…
Cache Lake in Quetico
The worst one so far in my paddling career is from Trousers Lake to Cache Lake in Quetico.
It was my buddie’s idea to go through it to get up to a remote place where we’d have the whole lake to ourselves.
Long. Climb over rocks. Lots of deadfall. Sink up to your nuts in the muskeg. It was hot, humid, absolutely still. And of course the skitoes were intense. The other guys thought the bugs were worst, I thought it was the mud. I remember mumbling something about this portage being “Satan’s Anus” and by the end we certainly felt like the turds that had passed through. Then when we got on Cache, the next day five canoes came through!
There is a real nice beach on Cache Lake though.
All of them
never met a good one.

I’m with Brian…
I never met a portage (carry for you ADKers) that I liked.
On the other hand, I never met a cookie that I didn’t like (some are better than others but all are good).
